In this episode of The Build Show, Lydia Crowder breaks down the benefits of using liquid colorants to tint drywall compound and explains why this simple technique can make a big difference on the jobsite. Drawing from real-world experience, Lydia demonstrates how liquid tints mix smoothly without altering the consistency, hardness, or sandability of the mud—unlike traditional dry pigments or chalks. She also highlights how tinted compound makes touch-ups easier to spot on primed or finished walls, helping prevent missed patches and flashing at the final paint stage. From quality control and crew coordination to faster, more accurate repairs, this episode delivers practical, professional insight into why liquid colorants are an effective solution for modern drywall finishing.
